Remember the Anonymous attack on PS3?

That hack attack on ps3 servers? Oh my god i'm still having flashbacks...  Any memories about this sad moment in ps3 history?

[AJSA Strazyplus 45]

My PS3 was shelved for a time and that happened while I didn't use my PS3, however I did bring it back out briefly to change passwords....

i lost my fist account to that hack luckily i had not used money on it

[Corporate Agent A2 57]

Oh yes, I recall with dread the time period where I went and read a book and did other productive things. 

[e99r0ll 7]

what i remember is xbox 360 owners, bashing on ps3 security... But then we got free shit!

[Aquila 183]

In my opinion I don't think it was Anonymous. Mainly because if it was them they probably would have made it widely known it was them, and because knocking the Playstation Network offline for 4 months was only hurting the gamers and not the company.

But yeah, that almost made me completely lose faith in the PS3.

[Lossar 262]

Oh yeah i remember this! Luckily i think i was away or something during the worst of it, so it didn't affect me too much.

i did other stuff while it was shutdown, it did suck though.

From what I could remember I was on holiday when it happened. I think it was anonymous because I saw them on the news the night that it happened.

I played Motorstorm Apocalypse offline.

An embaressing time for Sony.

 

Since I focused on the online for the 360 it didn't really effect me and then I got free games from it.

i believe it wasnt an Anonymous hacktivists attack if they had no reason to attack PSN and Sony, which raises the important question: if they did attack Sony, why then?

[argetlam350 512]

I believe actually Anonymous stated that they didn't do it, rather that it was a splinter group from Anonymous that hacked. If I remember Anonymous tried to stay out of the blame of it actually rather then try and say they did it.

[Maldez 17]

Oh yes. I still remember that around that time I got MK 9 and pissed off I couldn't play the online for some time.

No Screamer I hate them

[DerpyHooves 1]

Honestly I did not care after they gave me some free stuff... although Xbox fanboys have been milking this dry. I remember not being able to play online for sooooo long although it did not effect me much because I mostly play single player for all my games.

[NecroSlayer17 12]

What I love about PS3 is that it was never like they only focused on online gaming. I easily dealt with it with all my single-player games. It really was sad though, and I hate when Xbox fanboys bring it up to defend their system. Seriously, the anonymous hacker(s) must have been really good at what they do. 

[thaidanh 4]

The attack was actually kinda useful to me...I finished games I haven't finished and then got 2 games, well 4 games for free. That was awesome

[Bensora 4]

I remember it but didn't have a PS3 in that time so it didn't affect me luckly.

[Desert Zorro 3]

I remember, I had just recently gotten a online only game called MAG and I could not play it at all during that time.

That attack was sad. The response was horrible, and I remember reading all the hate via comments online. "shudders"

[Chucknation71 0]

I didn't get my ps3 till after the attack so I guess I missed all the chaos ;]

[zztoluca 7]

Caught up on backlogged games. Got free games. And Sony stepped up their game. I didnt mind the down time.
